Dear Shareholder
Share Purchase Plan for Existing Shareholders
Thank you for your support, we hope that our significant progress over the last 24 months has provided
you with some indication of the trajectory of your Company and the clarity of purpose with which it
operates.
Over this period your Company’s significantly increased the underlying resources of the company and
paved the way for the final step toward revenue generating production from its operations. The funds to
be raised from this offer are to assist in achieving our aim of establishing the Talisman Mine as the
newest and richest grade operating underground gold mine in New Zealand.
In terms of New Talisman’s development asset, the high-grade Talisman Mine at Karangahake, the
Company cannot take credit for finding it, the mine has been one of New Zealand’s most historically
productive gold mines. It is situated in the heartland of a region that has produced over 10 million ounces
of gold. The Talisman Mine has produced over 4.0 million ounces of bullion.
What your Company can take credit for, however, is working with all levels of government and the
community to obtain the necessary consents and undertaking the substantial amount of work required
to re-establish the infrastructure required to reopen this historically productive mine. This work includes
the delineation of 0.4 million ounces of high-grade gold and making the 1.5 km of underground
accessways through to Dubbo and the Mystery Vein safe to travel for the first time in over three decades.
Your Company is a persistent and determined custodian of the Talisman Mine and its other assets and
has completed, with limited resources, and at times the frustratingly slow and painstaking work required
to advance the mine to realise its potential. We are pleased to report that the period of elevated
expenditure levels required to undertake primary refurbishments is now over and the Company is in a
position to access the targeted veins and extract ore.
In addition to the step-down level of refurbishment spend, the Company is targeting a reduction in the
cash cost of corporate overheads by approximately 20%. Your Company is conducting this Share
Purchase Plan for Existing Shareholders to make the push through to gold production and revenue
generation.
Broadly speaking having made the upgrades to give access to both the Mystery Vein and Dubbo section
of the Maria vein and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals we now require funding to implement
the upgraded mine plan. The planned production profile of the project provides for up to 8000 ounces
of gold production over the next two years with an operational (excluding overhead) funding requirement
of 1.5M NZD. The Company is also exploring proposals for the outsourcing of the processing of its ore
into marketable concentrate at an offsite facility located in an industrial area.
Offer to Shareholders. I am pleased to inform you that the Directors have agreed to offer shares up to
the value of NZ$15,000 (or A$14,175) each to all shareholders in Australia and New Zealand, under the
terms of a Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”). In addition, promptly following 26 June 2020, the company
will issue or transfer to each shareholder issued shares in the share purchase plan one loyalty share for
every five shares subscribed for that the shareholder continues to hold on 26 June 2020 for nil
consideration.
This will ensure every Australian and New Zealand shareholder has the opportunity to participate at an
exciting stage of the company’s transition from explorer to producer and to benefit from the anticipated
uplift in value as the market rerates the stock.
Shareholders who choose not to participate will have their percentage shareholding diluted.

The issue price of the SPP has been set at NZ 0.6875 cents per share or AU 0.65 cents per share, this
represents a 14% discount to the 20-day volume weighted average share price of shares traded through
the NZX Main Board prior to 6 June 2019.
Payment may be made in Australian or New Zealand dollars in parcels of NZ$1,000 (up to a maximum
of NZ$15,000) or A$945 (up to a maximum of A$14,175).
Please note that application to participate in the SPP can only be made on the individualised
application form enclosed with this letter. Only shareholders on the register at the record date with an
address in New Zealand or Australia can participate in this offer.
Please read the enclosed documentation carefully and return the completed application form
and cheque, as soon as possible.
We commend the offer to you and thank you for your support.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What is the Offer?
The Offer allows Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for additional Shares in New Talisman Gold Mines
Limited (“New Talisman”) without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs. All Shares issued
under the Offer will be of the same class and rank equally with all existing fully paid ordinary Shares,
which are listed on the NZX Main Board and the ASX, and, on issue, will carry the same voting rights
and other entitlements.
Why is New Talisman issuing more Shares?
Since satisfying all regulatory requirements for, and the commencement of, mining activities at the
Talisman mine site two years ago, the company has moved its focus from exploration to mine
development.
The mine site is now established and suited to supporting long term underground mining operations.
Ventilation and other reticulated engineering services have been installed and rehabilitation of the
underground workings leading to the Mystery Vein and Dubbo Zone have been completed, allowing the
required access to the target veins.
Equipment for the pilot plant has been imported, set up and installed and a resource consent application
lodged. The application in no way restricts run of mine ore being extracted and stockpiled, ready for
processing upon grant of the consent. As recently announced the company has received an initial
proposal on the setting up of a third-party processing facility for which advanced discussions continue. It
is possible that, as an interim measure, the pilot plant will be upgraded to a more commercial level to
achieve cash flow while the larger capacity is developed.
Funds are being raised to fund the final stage toward production that leads the monetizing of the
Talisman mine asset.
The funds raised from the Offer will be used to commence extraction at the two primary areas
now cleared for access, the Maria Vein at Dubbo and the Mystery Vein.
At the Dubbo target the team will create access to the high grade ore blocks directly below the No 8
Level Dubbo Zone, establish drives on vein through this block, obtain advanced information on the
geology in this area in order to delineate blocks for mining, install the infrastructure to support this and
begin extraction of the ore blocks to be transported for stockpiling and processing.
At the second target area funds will be directed to continue extraction on the Mystery Vein by extending
the Northern Drive with a view to increasing the resource base in this highly prospective area.
Cashflows from operations are expected to reach a steady consistent state at full plant production
volumes 6 to 8 months from commencement. While the higher volume processing capacity is developed
small batches of high-grade ore will be processed through the pilot plant to drive contributory cashflows.
In the event of sufficient take up by shareholders in the offer the company expects to be in a position to
complete the works necessary to complete the bulk sampling project and to commence full production
at the Talisman mine, including exploration, legal work required to commence full operations upon
completion of bulk sampling and project development studies.
Site Progress
Operations at site began with the objective of securing underground access to the Mystery Vein and
Dubbo Zone of the Maria Vein, respectively approximately 800m and 1200m underground, with a view
to beginning extractive activities at both locations. The site was cleared of invasive vegetation, water
management systems installed, and site offices and infrastructure put in place before beginning with
rehabilitation of the underground workings.
Over the last 24 months every meter of the underground workings leading to the target areas has been
inspected, historic support has been removed and replaced where necessary, a bridge has been
constructed to traverse an old stope opening, ventilation seals constructed, and a historic collapse
supported. Concurrently the team have installed water and power reticulation services, a communication
Page | 7
system and a primary and secondary fan.
Access to the Mystery Vein was achieved in August 2018 and blasting activities in this area began in
September of the same year. The team has successfully tested the proposed mining method in the area
which enables separate removal of vein and waste material. The face has been advanced approximately
6.1m and most importantly has established continued mineralization supported by high grade samples
taken from the face by Heritage Gold.
In January 2019, following rehabilitation of the Dubbo drive leading to the high-grade Dubbo Zone, work
on reopening the BM37 Rise, the last site of commercial mining activities in the very early 1990’s, began.
This proved time consuming requiring the removal of more than 250 tonnes of rock from the excavation.
Some of the high-grade ore has been retained for processing through the pilot plant, while the balance
has been stockpiled underground.
Opening the rise at Dubbo has revealed the known historic excavation was larger than expected and
will require a significant amount of work to make safe before any material can be removed.
Having assessed the geological and geotechnical setting of the vein the technical team have analysed
several options towards extractive operations in the Dubbo area and, have elected to proceed with a
short decline from the adjacent BM35 Crosscut, developed on vein where possible, which will provide
access to the Dubbo shoot approximately 7m below number 8 Level. This essentially means that some
of the material excavated in developing the decline will be paygrade ore lowering net development costs.
The decline will then be extended downwards in 7m lifts progressively exposing more of the orebody for
sampling and delineation of extractive blocks. This revised mine plan drives the earliest cashflow from
the orebody.
Based on the current plan, at an average extraction rate of 300tpm, the company expects to be in a
position to generate an approximated average of 360 gold equivalent ounces per month during the 24-
month bulk sampling programme.
The operational project plan requires a $1.5M investment over 24 months and has the potential
to generate over 8000 ounces during the period. This poses a substantial economic return
particularly with an average gold price of 1800 used for the project plan while the market price
of gold reaches new highs above 2000 NZD/ounce.
It is important that shareholders recognise the company is dependent on the funding to fully commence
its operations. Whilst there are other options open to the company the board in the first instance would
like to provide the opportunity for shareholders to benefit from any rerating of the company which is
expected once production begins in earnest.

Do I have to participate in the Offer?
No - participation is entirely voluntary. Before you apply for Shares under the Offer, we recommend that
you seek independent financial advice from your financial adviser.
Can I participate in the Offer?
You are eligible to participate in the Offer if (such persons being “Eligible Shareholders”):
• you were registered as a holder of Shares at 7.00 pm (NZ time) on 5 June 2019 (the
“Record Date”); and
• your registered address on the Share register is in Australia or New Zealand, provided that
you do not hold Shares on behalf of another person who resides outside New Zealand or
Australia. For the avoidance of doubt, no U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S under
the US Securities Act of 1993) can participate in the Offer.
New Talisman has decided that the Offer is not available to Shareholders who are not resident in New
Zealand or Australia so as to avoid the risk of breaching laws in the relevant jurisdictions. New Talisman,
in making this decision, has taken into account the small number of overseas Shareholders not resident
in New Zealand or Australia.
If you are a Custodian, or you hold shares through a Custodian, please read paragraphs 3.4 and 3.5 of
the Offer Terms and Conditions.
How much can I invest under the Offer?
The amount you may invest under the Offer is limited. Eligible Shareholders may elect to apply for a
Parcel of Shares with a value of NZ$1000 or A$945 or any multiple of NZ$1,000 (A$945) up to a
maximum of NZ$15,000 (A$14,175).
If you receive more than one copy of this booklet, or if you hold Shares in more than one capacity (e.g.,
because you are both a sole and joint holder of Shares), the total value of the Parcels that you may
apply for in all capacities is NZ$15,000. By applying to purchase Shares under the Offer, you give the
certification set out in the terms and conditions of the Offer and the Application Form. Custodians that
hold Shares on behalf of one or more beneficial owners may apply for Shares to the value of up to
NZ$15,000 on behalf of beneficial owners who are New Zealand or Australian residents), provided that
they comply with certain certification requirements and other conditions set out in the terms and
conditions of the Offer.
For this purpose, in summary, a Custodian is a trustee company, nominee, or bare trustee that is
permitted to act as custodian under applicable laws. In particular, Custodians in Australia may need to
satisfy the financial services licensing requirements described in the glossary under the definition of
“Custodian”.
The offer set out under the Offer is made to the Custodian as the registered holder (not the beneficiary
directly). This means it is at the discretion of the Custodian whether to extend the offer to their
beneficiaries.
Joint holders are treated as a single Shareholder under the Offer and together can only make one
application up to a maximum of NZ$15,000. If you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian and also
own Shares in your own name, then you may either purchase Shares yourself or instruct your trustee
or Custodian to purchase Shares on your behalf, up to a maximum of NZ$15,000; you may not do both.
The Offer is non-renounceable, so you cannot transfer your right to purchase Shares under the Offer to
anyone else.
Why are investments limited to the maximum subscription amount of NZ$15,000 or A$14,175?
The Offer must comply with securities laws and regulatory requirements applicable in Australia and New
Zealand and the conditions imposed by NZX, ASX and the ASIC.
Page | 9
Under these requirements, the maximum amount that Eligible Subscribers may elect to invest is the
lesser of NZ$15,000 and A$14,175. In order not to exceed the lesser of these two amounts, New
Talisman has set the maximum Australian dollar application amount at A$14,175 to allow for
NZ$:A$ exchange rate movements. However, if the NZ$:A$ exchange rate varies such that the dollar
amount you applied for exceeds either of the NZ$15,000 or A$14,175 regulatory limits, shares having a
total issue price equal to the relevant regulatory limit will be issued to you and you will be refunded the
excess cash amount. No interest will be paid on application money refunded to you.
What is the Issue Price of the Shares under the Offer?
Shareholders will be able to pay in either New Zealand or Australian dollars.
The Issue Price is NZ 0.6875 cents or A 0.65 cents. The number of Shares to be issued will be the
subscription amount divided by the Issue Price in the currency applicable subject to any rounding as
described in the Terms and Conditions. For example NZ$1,000 will purchase 145,454 shares.
What are the risks of investing in the Offer?
The market price of Shares may rise or fall between the date of this offer and the date when Shares
issued under the Offer are allotted to you. As a result, the Issue Price you pay for Shares issued to you
under the Offer may exceed the price of Shares trading on the NZX Main Board and the ASX. In other
words, the value of the Shares issued to you under the Offer may be, at the time of issue, lower than
the Issue Price.
There can be no certainty that New Talisman Shares will trade at or above the Issue Price following the
issue of the Shares under the Offer. Accordingly, you should seek your own financial advice in relation
to this offer and your participation in the Offer.

If you wish to participate in the Offer, follow the step-by-step instructions set out on the reverse of the
enclosed personalised Application Form.

dividing the value of the Parcel you have applied for by the Issue Price (in the applicable currency).
If this calculation produces a fractional number, the number of Shares you will be allotted will be
rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.
5.2 If the number of Shares you are allotted is rounded down, your application monies will be slightly
greater than the value of the Shares you are allotted. The excess amount per application will
always be less than the Issue Price for one Share.
5.3 Any refunds of application monies (including under paragraph 3.7) will be in made in the same
currency as the application and without interest by direct credit to your bank account or by cheque
forwarded to you, in each case on or before the Despatch Date.
6 The Shares
6.1 Shares issued under the Offer will rank equally with, and have the same voting rights, dividend
rights and other entitlements as, existing fully paid Shares quoted on the ASX and the NZX Main
Board.
6.2 The issue of Shares under the Offer up to a maximum value of NZ$15,000 per Eligible
Shareholder (or per beneficial owner, in the case of holdings held by Custodians) is being
undertaken under Listing Rule 4.3.1 (Share Purchase Plan) to the maximum extent permitted by
that rule (being 5% of the total number of quoted shares on issue in the Company at the date of
this Offer), and thereafter Listing Rule 4.5 (15% Placement) in respect of any additional Shares
offered to each Eligible Shareholder.
6.3 The Shares to be issued under the Offer have been accepted for quotation on the NZX Main
Board, and New Talisman will apply for the Shares to be quoted on the ASX, with effect on or
shortly after the Allotment Date. You cannot trade in any Shares issued to you pursuant to the
Offer, either as principal or agent, until official quotation on the ASX and the NZX Main Board in
accordance with the Listing Rules. New Talisman expects the Shares will commence trading on
the ASX and the NZX Main Board on the Trading Day after the Allotment Date (that is, on 2 July
2019 on the current timetable). The NZX Main Board is a licensed market operated by NZX
Limited, which is a licensed market operator regulated under the Financial Markets Conduct Act
2013. Neither NZX nor ASX accepts any responsibility for any statement in this booklet, the Offer
Terms and Conditions or in the Application Form.
7 Loyalty Shares
Promptly following 26 June 2020, the company will issue or transfer to each shareholder issued
shares under this Offer one (1) loyalty share for every five (5) shares subscribed for that the

8 No Underwriting of the Offer
The Offer is not subject to any underwriting arrangement.
9 Amendments to the Offer and waiver of compliance
9.1 New Talisman will not change these Terms and Conditions (subject to its discretion to revise the
timetable under clause 1.8 and subject to clause 9.2 below). However, New Talisman reserves

expressed, apply to all Eligible Shareholders.
9.2 New Talisman reserves the right to, in its absolute discretion, modify, suspend, withdraw,
terminate or correct the Offer, at any time. New Talisman will notify the NZX and ASX if it does
so modify, suspend, withdraw, terminate or correct the Offer.
9.3 New Talisman may issue fewer Shares than an Eligible Shareholder applies for under this offer
(or none at all) if New Talisman believes that issuing those Shares would break any law or any of
the Listing Rules.
